Got mine as well :



You're looking at :
- tenkeypad with alps mini-switches (gotta look them up on the wiki)
- pos keyboard with mx blacks
- brand new Alcatel keyboard (gotta check the wiki for this as well)
- a set of low profile caps from a TA gabriele 9009
- some led strips
- some scented sticks

My jaw dropped when I saw the size of the package.

THANK YOU SECRET SANTA !

[7bit]

!

I wonder who it came from.


Kdbfr or Matt3o?

[photekq]

I recognise the POS board. Kbdfr, I think

Very nice gift.

[Compgeke]

I will say, there sure were a lot of whole keyboards given this year.

[7bit]

Yeah, a keyboard or 2 for everybody!


And HzFaq got just that dye-subbed arm?

[HzFaq]

I don't think too many people got a severed arm in a Secret Santa before. I'm ok with it though, I can use it for my experiments .

[scottc]

And HzFaq got just that dye-subbed arm?

I hear those things cost an arm and a leg!

[guk]

Yeah, but kbdfr probably only has Tipros.
So only you or 7bit remain.

Be it as it may, you still weren't my giftee. But I do own two KPT-84 and like them a lot.

[7bit]

I'm quite sure that it is from kbdfr!


It can't be from me, I believe ...

This is exactly the sort of response that I had hoped for. Great!

[seebart]

This is quite amazing; this was delivered just now (21:04) by Hermes no less THE night before Christmas! It's the NIB AEK 2 with nice caps. The delivery guy was working overtime.

[photekq]

Now I'm really sad that seller wouldn't ship to the UK

Great keyboard seebart, congrats.

P.S It's the 23rd, not the 24th

[HzFaq]

Christmas is the 24th in most of Europe.

That is a kick ass board though, nice get.

How was I not aware of this until now?

[HzFaq]

To be fair, I only know because my Mrs is Polish .

Yes, but Santa comes in the evening, so he was one day early!

[kbdfr]

Meanwhile, somewhere on the way to me:



Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas is the 25, many countries celebrate on Christmas Eve (the 24th). Since in some countries the 24th is holiday and gifts are exchanged on that date, sometimes Christmas eve is considered the 23... but as far as I know Jesus was born the 25 more or less everywhere.

[7bit]

Well, let's say we celebrate his birthday tomorrow, but we don't know really when he had been born, unless someone finds his birth certificate.


Merry Christmas , kbdfr!

Just unpack some of your boxes and pretend they are from the Secret Santa!

[seebart]

Merry Christmas everyone!

well if Santa is loaded on heineken its no wonder he`s crashing his sled!

[Findecanor]

as far as I know Jesus was born the 25 more or less everywhere.

More or less everywhere? Sounds like a messy birth.

Anyway... According to gospel, Jesus was born during the night so I don't count Christmas Eve as being Christmas until it is eve. But around here it is pretty dark at 3 pm already.

[billnye]

kbdfr, the elves tell me your package is in Deutschland and should be with you soon.

[Muirium]

The Christians just wanted to hijack Yule for their own purposes. (Easter took over the more significant Pagan European festival of Beltane.) Before they came along, everyone enjoyed a good night of fiery, boozy sin in the middle of winter. Afterwards, well, for the rest of you it was all candles, hymns and Santa. In Scotland, for whatever reason, Christmas didn't really take off until modern times. But we kept the mischief alive in Hogmanay instead.

Merry Whatever to One and All!

[seebart]

Thank you for clearing that up Mu! [emoji12]

[Muirium]

The one thing I don't know how to post around here is [emoji0xF0]. Oh !

[seebart]

Yes I only use those when on Tapatalk. Why disable them? I notice them quite a bit recently.

[Muirium]

From the link:

My board has an excellent collection of smileys and the emoji smileys are so horrible that they make me want to puke.

They are pretty fugly. Don't match at all well with the forum's own. And strange to have a feature that's specific to a mobile client, and inaccessible to desktop users.

[seebart]

OK I would not argue with that. I do not find them particularly appealing or anything. It's practical when using tapatalk, that's all.
Yes but that's typical for those mobile apps and the restriction is a valid reason to remove them, not the visual appeal!
